the normal and lateral line cycloid scales of the native species garra rossica (nikol’skii, 1900), one of the most common and poorly known cyprinid fish in south-eastern iran have been subjected to the scanning electron microscopy technique in order to study their detailed structure. normal scale below the dorsal fin showed a clearcut demonstration between the anterior and posterior region with...

The taxonomic status of Thamnurgus rossicus was evaluated with respect to the morphologically similar T. petzi using genetic markers. Nucleotide data from the mitochondrial COI gene revealed 2.4% variation between the European Alps and Russian steppe populations. The two nuclear DNA markers CAD and EF1á were identical across populations. In view of their similar morphology, genetic composition,...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of polysaccharides from Boschniakia rossica against hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Boschniakia rossica polysaccharides was administered intragastrically once daily for 7 days. One hour after the final treatment, mice were treated intraperitoneally with 80 mg/kg of CCl4. CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity was man...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Boschniakia rossica extract on free radicals in the brain of D-galactose induced senile rats. METHODS Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group (48 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) D-galactose, SC), Boschniakia rossica group (100, 150, 200 mg/kg ig and 48 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) D-galactose, SC). After 40 days, the activities of SOD, MAO and the content of...
